The thing I never understood is how people can use "tree hugger" as an insult. It seems to me that, standing next to a 2,000 year old Redwood tree, it is only natural to wrap my arms around it and feel its old-ness (is that a word?). You don't have that luxary when looking at a 2,000 year old piece of art.

TRUEly! So Nice...for bringing back this humor. Funnier the second time around! BOOM!!!

Actually though, the VI trees dem, are so much nicer than the joke this time a year. Just in time for 77th coronation events w/ Ivibes and Midnite, and the week before with Luci and Beres. WRIP III is around the corner and our slew of youths chanting righteousness, and "tree-hugging", will be in force this here future. Jan 3 just a week or so before WRIP is Caribbean night here, one of many events held during our Christmas/3 Kings festival. Reggae is promised to be highlighted that night.

BTW, we don't really call 'em trees here in the VIs. They are commonly referred to here as "flowers". (Check Abja!)
